Bush 9) you want to carry two sidearms on duty instead of just one the list goes on! keep it going! Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged StarDancer Grammaton Cleric member is offline "Holy BatAx!

When you go to work, you secretly start lining up annoying co-workers for gun kata 12. You consider actually learning gun kata and becoming an assassin, buying the alien/cleric watch, and modified berretta pistols, and cleric jacket and calling yourself a tetra grammaton cleric 13. Your msn name is Tetra Grammaton Cleric 14. You set out in search of a web site that has a message forum with other people who talk about and praise the movie Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "Although you nore I may not always agree with it, it is not the message that is important, it is our obedience to it… father's will… call it faith, you have it I assume" Imylover Guest Re: You know you've watched too much Equilibrium w « Reply #3 on Jul 26, 2003, 4:08am » 15. You try to convince as many people you know to watch the film too & you stop at nothing to make sure they'll even like it! (I've been successful!) 16. You download the soundtrack from the Net even if it doesn't officially exist & you don't care how long it takes (another sucess of mine!) 17. If not yet owning a bought copy you download the film from the Net, plus the trailer too! (me again!) 18. You turn into a Bale fan (if you weren't one already) & go on a hunt for all his other films & wait impatiently for his next work, yet still believe without a doubt that John Preston absolutely is his best character ever played.

You are very fond towards the girls going by the name of Mary 16. You are REALLY fond towards the girls going by the name of Mary O'Brien 17. After finishing some task, you say: "Case closed. Target sentenced for burning". 18. When visiting your friends you wonder how many sense-offending things they have. 19. When walking down the street you expect father to pop-out of a nearby street screen. 20. When someone says to you: "You can't do this!" you reply with a deadly glare: "Tetragrammaton, there is nothing we cannot do." 21. You try to interogate people, asking them if they have taken their daily dose of Prozium.

You start a mass collection of items that would be rated EC-10 to preserve for the next generations of Sense Offenders. 20. You even get a fake copy of the Mona Lisa just to be sure at least the motive survives.

You listen to Beethoven as often as you can & sometimes the music does bring you to tears! 22. You start to rearrange your desk at work! 23. You begin to look at sunrises with new eyes. 24. To save animals becomes a life's work to you, even if it means risking your own life. 25. You wonder if it was a Cleric riding in the white car that passed you. 26. You start to hide things behind your bathroom mirror. 27. You start reading Yeates. 28. You carry with you a small object from the one you love everywhere in your pocket.

Every conversation with everyone you meet eventually gets detoured to the topic of Equilibrium. 30. You begin buying not only one copy but two of all the films posters & stuff... (so far I have 2 USA, 2 UK, 2 Japanese mini posters, 2 DVD posters (one in French), two Japanese Programs, and 2 DVDs R1...also soon to have 2 cleric watches, & two sets of Thai Lobby Cards.) 31. Tempted to begin collecting all the other DVD regions just for their cover art. 32.

Every conversation with everyone [you meet] eventually gets detoured to the topic of Equilibrium. (deletions added) Completely! The other day, I was on the phone with a friend of mine who hadn't seen EQ yet (he's since rectified this and LOVED it). He was speaking of his art and the emotions entailed in creating it. When he paused, I went on to explain that was another great thing about Equilibrium; it had everything to do with emotions. For a moment, he was like, what? But as I continued, he soon realized my absolute adoration of the film, and hurried to purchase it from amazon.com as we finished our conversation. « Last Edit: Jul 26, 2003, 8:16pm by Trinity » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged JenGe Evidentiary Storage Officer member is offline "Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt."

Every time a guy in a moterbike helmet goes past, you narrow your eyes and growl. You suddenly find yourself breaking into gun-kata on the dance floor (too...much...alchohol...) You carry your umbrella underhand style. You watch Braveheart and expect Robert the Bruce to start stroking the table. You watch Braveheart and expect Robert the Bruce to start some Teteagrammaton style ass-whupping during the battle scenes You give an evil cackle whenever you hear the phrase "losing face." You watch Lord of the Rings and wonder why Boromir doesn't hold a book up in front of the Uruk-Hai archer at the end. Whenever someone is really annoying you, you find yourself trying to activate some non-existant spring-load wrist holsters. You have a thing about stroking stair banisters. You have almost irrisistable urges to run up to parked motercycles and...(Crunch. Ambulance please.) Your freinds ask you why you have a rice crispie superglued to the top-right of your nose. You pick up the puppies of total straingers, pronounce them diseised and walk off with the dog under your arm. When the police pull you over, you inform them that you have a pre-dawn combustion to witness. And that there's nothing in the trunk. You keep trying to turn handshakes into wrist-locks. (Sorry, thought your were a sweeper.) Your freinds ask you why your floor is always covered in broken snowglobes. "No we DON'T sell white hubcaps! Uh...is that spraypaint on your car?" The last thing the Pizza Delivery biker ever hears is "No. Not without incident."
